Rememberable quotes

  • Buffalo "Bill" has antisocial personality disorder
    • He wants to become other being than what he is (wanting to become a trans-sexual). He disregards of other people's safety and life. He lacks of conforming to the laws and commit crimes.

    • In the movie, he was not treated but he was shoot to death


  • I learned how people can become cruel just by trying to reach their goals. In the movie he wanted to become a trans-sexual that he wanted to great a suit made out of real girl's skin. By profiling crimes, people are able to understand his goal, trophy of the crime, characteristic, and many other informations that will help narrow who the criminal is.

  • Because I heard about this movie during English class learning about gothic elements and I always wanted to watch this movie since then. Also I found criminal in this movie really similar to the serial criminal, who I have profiled during psychology class.
